Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2010
Cobertura: Richard Vignoles / Daniel Romagnoli
Los fanáticos del automóvil como nosotros deberíamos de incluir una peregrinación a Pebble Beach por una vez en la vida. Es sin lugar a dudas la Meca de los clásicos con autos que no vamos a ver en ninguna otra parte. El enfermizo fanatismo por la perfección se ve por todos lados y el resultado son ejemplares al mejor nivel o tal vez mejor que cuando salieron de fábrica.
Este año Alfa Romeo celebró sus 100 años con una muestra de 18 automóviles de los cuales 11 vinieron especialmente de Italia y que a mi entender se robaron el espectáculo.
A su vez el Concurso atrajo la participación de 52 automóviles que llegaron de 12 países para disputar el trofeo de “Best of Show”. También fueron distribuidos trofeos por categorías.
La participación Argentina tuvo como protagonista a un nominado para “Best of Show” el Delage 1939 D8 120 Henri Chapron Cabriolet de Daniel Sielecki ganador de su clase J-3: European Classic 1937-1939.
